| Wychcroft January 2008 The 10th Wychcroft weekend! It does not seem possible.The catering staff even made us an anniversary cake. A lovely selection of new music, a Brazilian rhythm class courtesy of Lewis Davies and the crisp winter weather made this a wonderful event. Well done and heartfelt thanks to the usual suspects!

| Chipstead Flower Show 2007 The sun shone and the show seemed to be even better supported than usual. We played at the opening of the show and accompanied the 'runners' at the start of their race followed by another concert session later in the afternoon. Again, many thanks to Luba Packman for the opportunity to play at this delightful venue. Pictures. |
| Wychcroft January 2006 and January 2007 Yet again lovely weekends with arrangements going like clockwork. Now 9 years old! We can't believe its that long! Well done Neil, Pam, Paul, Howard and everybody who made the events so enjoyable. 2006 Pictures. |
| Chipstead 2005. We all had a lovely day at the annual Chipstead Flower Festival on 16th July 2005. The weather was glorious and the band played well up to expectations, due to Paul Collett's disciplined musical direction over the previous few rehearsals. There are a few pictures on the photo page from Roger and Howard. Many thanks to the Chipstead Secretary Luba Packman for recommending us to play for the show. We hope we can come again! |
| London To Brighton Cycle Ride Your Chairman Richard Clifton and First Trumpet player Ray Skingley completed the ride in 2005. Click for an action picture! |
| Wychcroft January 2005 We all had yet another very successful music workshop in the lovely Surrey countryside! Many congratulations to our new Musical Director, Paul Collett, assisted by so many others, who led us through such an enjoyable weekend. The arrangements and the concert went like clockwork. (well nearly, forget the last eight bars of the Leroy Anderson!) Click here for pictures, courtesy of Roger and Howard. |
| Scola On Stage 2nd July 2004 The band opened the second half of the first 'SCOLA On Stage concert at the Seacombe Centre with a lively rendering of 'A Tribute to Rodgers and Hammerstein' (photos). Sadly, this was Lorraines's last Friday with the band as she has felt it time to 'move on'. Many thanks Lorraine for giving us all the benefits of your considerable musical talents, your patience and your understanding over the last few years. The band has made great strides under your direction. We will miss you! |
| Garden Party 4th July 2004 Many thanks to Richard and Gloria who hosted the annual concert and garden party. The rain came and went but a good time was had by all. At least the children had a swim! Click for pictures. |
